How about Loko on the wing instead of Burt

I am sure this has crossed everyones mind is Luke Burt is just to small to compete with the Manu Vatuvei's and Tony Williams and Lote Tuquri's of the Nrl look dont get me wrong i would be upset if Burt were to be dropped but think about Loko on the wing WOW that would be something i know alot beleive that Loko is a center but how about we let him develop into a great center while starting his carrer on the wing like Israel Folau here is some arguements to press my case.

 

  • Good under the high ball
  • Fast runner
  • Strong
  • Good Fend ( what i like to call the Inglis fend )

 

Alot of people have said there are question marks over his defence and that could be sorted on the wing he is kinder protected on the wing and with time he would develop into center. Now Burt has something that Loko doesnt have and thats class and a kicking game but then we would be short on a goalkicker but correct me if i am wrong Morts was a goalkicker when he was in the toyota cup.

 

Just a possiblity for SK. imagine this 1,2,3,4,5 combo this is power. Loko could turn into a Vatuvei.

  • could give loko a go, but burt is good because he is also a good kicker
  • If we hadn't of signed 100 million wingers it would be a good strategy. Loko would have been my first choice backup on the wing before the Walker, Atkins, etc signings.

    The benefit of this is given he's still learning to carry the ball in one arm, this wouldn't hurt his game at NRL level. Less strenuous defensively and it would be the perfect way for him to get an NRL education - hence why I cringed everytime we bought a new winger.
  • yeah, loko is good, but atkins is also good
  • We didnt need Atkins i think.
  • He's there for depth, and it's good to have the depth that we do at the wing position.
    • It would be much nicer to have the depth we do at centre!
      • No arguments there, that's for sure.
        Guess that's an area of concern for the season if things don't go smoothly in that position.
  • He will get no benefit for playing centre by playing on the wing, you can become a better winger by playing in the centres but not the other way around. It might be good to blood him for first grade by giving him a go on the wing but it wont improve his centre play.
  • Fortunately, the current administration has a nice fall guy in Daniel Anderson to take the blame. I'm not one to point the finger unless I'm 100% certain where blame can be attributed, but
    1) There is zero doubt that our recruitment was diabolical
    2) Everyone who was part of the recruiting process, which includes coach, CEO through to the board which signed off the recruitment plan, shares the responsibility
  • 1 eyed eel ossies got it hard i dont think it would be that easy to attract players to club think about we dont know what goes in contracts these days i know it hard to miss out on player after player but this would be hard job to complaining isnt going to fix anything so give em a break man.
